    Pretty sure if they have anything similar to dei in china it would look confusing to us because the diverse people hired because of it would still all look Chinese to us.

    Edit: I’m going to edit this to include a statement saying that the purpose of dei is to increase diversity in your organization, which means if you have a pool of equally qualified applicants you might choose the diverse candidate if your team is all white guys, and you might choose the white guy if your team is all women or people from Sudan, diversity in your team has value and that’s really all it is about, especially among equally qualified candidates

      Pretty sure they do have DEI in China. Minority ethnic groups are given additional seats in the party Congress (someone correct me if I’m wrong) . Ethnic minorities are also given preferential treatment for school acceptance

      In China people from ethnic minority groups get tax breaks, priority university places, extra welfare, etc etc lol. It would explode the single chud braincell if they found out about it

      Iirc there are protections based on gender, disability status, and being from a rural area. Idk if there’s DEI as such, but there are protections roughly equivalent to the ADA and Civil Rights Act (Title VII).

        Ethnic minorities get a bonus in the Gaokao, to the disdain of some Han people over here. Some people are quite vocally upset about how Uyghurs were allowed to have multiple kids and had an easier time getting into tertiary education.

        I’m like motherfucker having a well educated, prosperous and stable region makes it harder for extremism to take hold (compared to even a couple decades ago) stop thinking about what’s happening in the past and present and look at the bigger picture.
